Cinematheque – The Alchemist’s Letter

This short animated film has to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen, both visually and in spirit. It serves as a warning to us all not to forget the most important thing in life: love.

Visit the website to see the full video, or check out the trailer below for this amazing piece by director Carlos Andre Stevens. This masterpiece was brought to life through a Kickstarter campaign and has just hit the film festival circuit this month.

Recognize that voice? The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee John Hurt, who played Hellboy’s Dad as well as Ollivander in the Harry Potter movies.
